Today I want to share one of newest creations... the Fire Ferret!
Fire ferrets hail from the plain of fire, and are tiny, friendly fire elementals that enjoy nothing more than a fun romp with each other, and even other good creatures. Though they can turn their fire form ability on and off, they sometimes get so carried away when playing with non-fire resistant friends that accidental burns can occur. When their fire form is turned off they resemble a natural ferret with orange, rippling "fur" and glowing red eyes.
Fire ferrets have been known to act as familiars to good-aligned magic users, especially those that specialize in the element of fire, and can be called with the Find Familiar spell to serve in this capacity. Those who would keep a fire ferret as a familiar or pet are cautioned, however, to be ever on their guard. Fire ferrets are incredibly curious, and have been known to accidentally start fires while playing or investigating their surroundings. The like to sleep a lot, and are happiest curled up in a fire-proof ferret house, which could be as simple as a fur-lined sack treated with magic to be immune to fire. They hate and fear water, which can kill them if they are exposed to it for too long, and will not willingly enter a body of water, or go outside when it is raining.
While I've been wanting something like that for a long time, and the art is adorable, a Tiny animal should have a d4 hit die.
I agree. I made the decision to bump it up to 1d6 because I wanted these little guys to be a bit heartier in case someone wants to use them as a familiar. Hey, it's magic. ;-)
Feel free to use with a d4 instead.

How about 5 (2d4)?

I guess I misunderstood, when you reminded me that a tiny creature should be 1d4, I took that to mean you (maybe) felt 1d6 was too much? 2d4 is more, of course.
Ultimately it doesn't matter. HP is always more of a suggestion than a hard rule. ;-)

Today, it's the Frost Giant Werewolf! I created this for my Curse of Strahd campaign.
Frost giants are creatures of ice and snow, with hair and beards of pale white or light blue, and flesh as blue as glacial ice. They respect only brute strength and skill in battle. A Frost Giant Werewolf has either been afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy, or was born of lycanthrope parents.
